Abstract Background Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is caused by bleeding, primarily into parenchymal brain tissue, and accounts for 9 to 27% of all strokes worldwide. Higher neutrophils, lower lymphocytes, and higher neutrophil-to-lymphocytes ratio (NLR) values predict worse outcomes after spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) and could aid in the risk stratification of patients. Methods Eighty patients with sICH within the first 24 h of stroke onset and admitted into the neurology intensive care unit of an Egyptian university hospital and were assessed by GCS for consciousness level and NIHSS for stroke severity assessment, complete blood count, and special attention to NLR. Patients were reevaluated by GCS and NIHSS on the 7th day of the stroke. Early neurological deterioration (END) was defined as four points or a greater increase in the NIHSS score or two points or a greater decrease in GCS or death. Results END was recorded in 21.25% of patients while non-END was recorded in 78.75%. END was highly significantly associated with a low grade of GCS, high grade of NIHSS, elevated absolute lymphocyte count (ALC), and elevated NLR. Lower GCS score, higher NIHSS score, larger hematoma volume, and higher NLR values were independent predictors for END. The best cutoff of NLR in END prediction was > 9.1. Conclusion NLR is a trustworthy early predictor of sICH outcome.

Abstract Neurological deterioration is common after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We aimed to identify the predictors and effects of neurological deterioration and whether tranexamic acid reduced the risk of neurological deterioration. Data from the Tranexamic acid in IntraCerebral Hemorrhage-2 (TICH-2) randomized controlled trial were analyzed. Neurological deterioration was defined as an increase in National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) of ≥ 4 or a decline in Glasgow Coma Scale of ≥ 2. Neurological deterioration was considered to be early if it started ≤ 48 h and late if commenced between 48 h and 7 days after onset. Logistic regression was used to identify predictors and effects of neurological deterioration and the effect of tranexamic acid on neurological deterioration. Of 2325 patients, 735 (31.7%) had neurological deterioration: 590 (80.3%) occurred early and 145 (19.7%) late. Predictors of early neurological deterioration included recruitment from the UK, previous ICH, higher admission systolic blood pressure, higher NIHSS, shorter onset-to-CT time, larger baseline hematoma, intraventricular hemorrhage, subarachnoid extension and antiplatelet therapy. Older age, male sex, higher NIHSS, previous ICH and larger baseline hematoma predicted late neurological deterioration. Neurological deterioration was independently associated with a modified Rankin Scale of > 3 (aOR 4.98, 3.70–6.70; p < 0.001). Tranexamic acid reduced the risk of early (aOR 0.79, 0.63–0.99; p = 0.041) but not late neurological deterioration (aOR 0.76, 0.52–1.11; p = 0.15). Larger hematoma size, intraventricular and subarachnoid extension increased the risk of neurological deterioration. Neurological deterioration increased the risk of death and dependency at day 90. Tranexamic acid reduced the risk of early neurological deterioration and warrants further investigation in ICH. URL:https://www.isrctn.com Unique identifier: ISRCTN93732214

The aim of the study – to evaluate the informativeness of serum vascular endothelial growth factor A levels in detection of short-term prognosis in acute period of spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage on the ground of conservative treatment. Materials and methods. Prospective cohort comparative study of the 89 patients in acute period of spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage was done on the ground of conservative treatment. The evaluation of neurological deficit level was performed by using Full Outline of Unresponsiveness coma scale, Glasgow scale and National Institute of Health Stroke Scale. Cerebral brain structures visualization was made by computed tomography. During 24 hours of hospitalization serum samples were collected and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) was measures by using ELISA method. Early neurological deterioration and unfavorable acute spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage period outcome (4-6 score by modified Rankin scale on the 21st day of the disease) were registered as combined clinical endpoints. Statistical operation was made with the help of correlation analysis, logistic regression analysis, ROC-analysis. Results. Patients with unfavorable course and spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage acute period outcome were characterized by higher serum VEGF-A values on the 1st day from admission, that correlates with the volume of intracerebral hemorrhage (R=0,21, p˂0,01), volume of secondary intraventricular hemorrhage (R=0,29, p˂0,01) and total volume of intracranial hemorrhage (R=0,31, p˂0,01). It was detected that evaluation of VEGF-A serum concentrations together with neurovisualization parameters (midline shift severity, volume of secondary intraventricular hemorrhage) as a part of multipredictive logistic regression model allow to detect individual risk of early neurological deterioration with the accuracy 89,9% (AUC±SE (95% CI) = 0,91±0,04 (0,83-0,96), р˂0,0001). Conclusions. Serum VEGF-A levels in patients with spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage on the 1st day from admission is an informative additional parameter for prognosis of early neurological deterioration on the ground of conservative treatment

The aim of the study – to improve the diagnostic measures in patients with spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage through elaboration of the prognostic criteria for the early neurological deterioration on the ground of comparative analysis of clinical scales that evaluate the severity of patient’s condition. Materials and methods. Prospective, cohort investigation of 339 patients (mean age 64,8±0,6 years) in acute period of spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage was done. The diagnosis was made on the ground of clinical, neurovisualization examination. Initial patient’s condition severity was estimated by using the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Full Outline of UnResponsiveness (FOUR) Scale, Glasgow Coma Scale, original Intracerebral Hemorrhage Scale (oICH), modified Intracerebral Hemorrhage Scales (mICH-A, mICH-B), Intracerebral Hemorrhage Grading Scale (ICH-GS), Intracerebral Hemorrhage Functional Outcome Scale (ICH-FOS). The early neurological deterioration was used as a cumulative end-point. It was detected as onset of one or some events from the following during 24 hours from the admission on the ground of conservative therapy: 1) decrease of FOUR score ≥2; 2) increase of NIHSS score ≥4; 3) lethal outcome. Logistic regression and ROC-analysis were used for prognostic criteria elaboration. Results. Clinical neurological deterioration during 24 hours from admission was revealed in 99 (29,2%) patients. On the ground of univariate logistic regression analysis it was detected that the risk of early neurological deterioration in patients with spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage on the ground of conservative therapy is evaluated as the following summary score: oICH (OR (95% CІ) = 2,71 (2,07–3,55), р˂0,0001), mICH-A (OR (95% CІ) = 1,70 (1,50–1,93), р˂0,0001), mICH-B (OR (95% CІ) = 1,81 (1,57–2,09), р˂0,0001), ICH-GS (OR (95% CІ) = 1,91 (1,59–2,29), р˂0,0001) and ICH-FOS (OR (95% CI) = 1,40 (1,28–1,54), р˂0,0001). It was detected that mICH-A and mICH-B scales differ with higher AUC values compared with oICH, ICH-GS and ICH-FOS concerning early neurological deterioration prediction in patients with spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage. Conclusions. Early neurological deterioration predictors in patients with spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage during 24 hours from the admission are the mICH-A score >4 (sensitivity = 71,7%, specificity = 78,8%) and mICH-B score >2 (sensitivity = 82,8%, specificity = 63,8%)
